 Introduction
You may think being a grandparent s easy,
that all you have to do is sit back and
enjoy watching the development of another
generation. But being a grandparent brings all
kinds of new challenges. It puts new stresses
on your relationship with your children and
it s also a diplomatic minefield. You ll find, in
your new role, you spend a lot of time biting
your tongue to avoid saying the wrong thing.
Oh yes, it s tough.
How fortunate then that you have this small
book of advice to guide you through the
choppy waters ahead.
